The Universal Remote

By S.L. Esque

Would you want to know the future if you could?

Chelsea was getting married when she asks for a sign of when the love of her life would leave her.  The Universe answered in an interesting way.  On her one-year wedding anniversary, she received an unmarked package with a remote. 

Set in Tuscany and mixed with glimpses into the future while also set in the past, Chelsea sees her life unfold over ten episodes while dealing with life changing events in her present.

By the end, she is left with more questions than answers and gets answers to some of the questions she hadn't thought to ask along with a few heartbreaking secrets.  Knowing what she does brings up one major question, though:  Will knowing what happens in the future change anything in the present?
